What happens when subsea cables go dark? Are subsea cables a false issue?

The subsea cables that connect the internet have recently become a major focus. Surrounded by sea, Taiwan is especially sensitive and vulnerable to changes affecting subsea cables, and this vulnerability is even more pronounced amid unstable geopolitics.

Instead of simply worrying, come learn more!! The first { Digital Resilience Forum } will take a close look at every facet of the subsea cable issue. Alongside presentations on two technical projects, the “Taiwan Subsea Cable Dynamic Map” and “Digital Service Resilience Testing,” which will help everyone understand what exactly we should worry about when it comes to subsea cables, the forum will examine their impact from the perspectives of policy, social security, and civic participation.
